21 active 4-H clubs are organized in communities throughout Chenango County. Clubs may concentrate on one subject area, such as livestock or fishing and aquatics, or may participate in a wide variety of projects each year. Club members help determine the focus of each club.
4-H clubs actively participate in the annual Chenango County Fair.

It also serves as an educational and public relations tool. 4-H clubs, members, and volunteers also participate in many other community events throughout the year.

The Girl Scout program is fun with purpose! It is based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law that generations of girls have followed. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience promotes the mission that Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.
Each troop meets on different days and times. The levels of Girl Scouts are: Daisy Girl Scouts - K and 1st grade; Brownie Girl Scouts - 2nd and 3rd grade; Junior Girl Scouts - 4th and 5th; Cadette Girl Scouts - 6th, 7th and 8th; Senior Girl Scouts - 9th and 10th; and the highest level, Ambassador - 11th and 12th grade. (At the time of this 2016 publishing, there are girls in the Oxford Service Unit all the way up to 9th grade.)
